Description
Rugged and Reliable Dual-Mode Antenna for Harsh Conditions
The Beam Magnetic Dual Mode Antenna (Heavy Duty) (RST205) is built to deliver dependable satellite connectivity in extreme environments. Designed for both voice and data communication systems, this antenna supports the Iridium and GNSS (GPS, QZSS, Galileo) networks, ensuring continuous communication and location tracking even in the harshest conditions. Its dual-mode capability makes it ideal for vehicles operating in remote areas, whether for emergency response, fleet management, or personal use.
Heavy-Duty Durability with Magnetic Mount
Constructed to endure tough weather conditions, the RST205 is rated IP67 and IP69K, offering complete protection against dust, water, and high-pressure cleaning. The IK09 impact resistance rating ensures that the antenna can withstand physical shocks and impacts, making it suitable for rugged environments. Its magnetic mount provides a strong, secure installation while allowing for easy repositioning when necessary. This makes it an excellent choice for vehicles that require temporary but reliable satellite communication setups.
Efficient Performance with Extended Cable Reach
The RST205 is ground plane-independent, meaning it can perform optimally without the need for a large metal surface. It comes equipped with 5 meters of both GPS and Iridium antenna cables, ensuring easy installation and flexibility in mounting. The passive amplifier gain for GNSS ensures strong signal reception, while the antenna’s design supports long-range communication, making it essential for demanding operations in challenging terrains.
